Find a therapist in Northfield, NJ — covered by insurance

Hi! My name is Jillian and I am a licensed social worker. I work primarily with adults and young adults (18+) to help manage topics such as anxiety, stress and life transitions. I also have a strong background in supporting those who may be navigating medical challenges like chronic or terminal illness.

I earned my Masters in Social Work at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am licensed in NJ and CA.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Rutgers University (MSW). With 18 years of experience as a therapist, my belief is that we are born with the ability to self-generate the changes we might be seeking at any point in one's life-span.

I provide therapy for individuals navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and postpartum adjustment, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who were raised by emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients find themselves struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of disconnection from who they truly are. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to break free or where to begin.

I also support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with this transition. Whether you’re becoming a parent, adjusting to new responsibilities, or rethinking your path in life or career, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

As a board certified therapist, I believe that giving a priority to your mental wellbeing is the key to your happiness and stability in life. Reaching out for help can be one of hardest things that you can do, so kudos to taking the first step in your personal recovery ! I have been practicing for many years in the addictions field and can understand what a person goes through to overcome an addiction; be it alcohol or other drugs, an anger management problem, internet gaming , gambling or pornography & sex addictions, in unison with a Substance Use Disorder. Through a holistic and other evidenced based therapies, we can take the first step toward your recovery.

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!
